What a week!
Well I got off to a great start writing a blog, but then I just got completely swamped with this week. I can't remember the last time I had a week that I had been this busy in a loooong time. Classes are finally starting to pick up the pace for me. Now I'm starting to get a lot more work and a whole lot more reading assignments, which I don't really mind because most of the reading is done for my leadership class with Dr. Warner and it's all really interesting. But, it still takes up a lot of time which I don't seem to have much of anymore. Besides classes, rush is starting for my Honors Fraternity Phi Sigma Pi. The way rush works for us is that we hold events for the next 2 weeks. These events allow all the rushees to come out and meet the brotherhood and just have a fun time all around. The events last for a couple of hours, and although they are a lot of fun, it makes it hard to balance with my time with my other activities, especially Water Polo. But despite how busy I was this week I still feel that I got a lot accomplished. I guess organizing my time is a lot easier to do when there is so little to waste! However, I am not complaining in the least. Like I said in my last blog I am having the time of my life right now. I'm enjoying everything this University has to offer and I plan on relishing it this last year.
On another matter, one of my classes I'm taking is CS 139, Computer Science: Algorithm Development. In this class we are learning the programming language Java. I've always been good with computers, but never have I ever done something so technical as learning to write out the language. This week I wrote my first computer program. I knew process of writing a program was very technical, but until I did it I had no idea how hard it was, and the program I made was relatively simple. I wrote a program to calculate the radius of a circle. All in all, I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with myself - 3 weeks ago I couldn't tell you what Java even was. I feel like I'm going to learn a lot from this class, and be able to impress future employers when I tell them my computer science experience, which is what I really look forward to.
Well that's all for this week. There's a home game against Delaware St. tomorrow which I know we'll win. GO DUKES!
